G20? Kripes. It used to be G7. Okay, I think it used to be G6, but our then PM Mulroney was real cozy with Reagan and we got in to make it G7. Quite a feather in our cap, considering we had nowhere near the power and wealth of the 6 other countries. But there we were, in the ever-so-exclusive G7! We felt pride, we felt all tingly and fuzzy inside - either that or it was a bit of bad sushi, one can't be sure... Well, now that it's up to 20 it seems like pretty much anyone can get in. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.
